Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The twentieth century offered up countless visions of domestic life, from the aspirational to the radical. Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanised home or the notion that technology might free us from home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Are the smart homes of today the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has 'home' proved resistant to radical change? Home Futures: Living in Yesterday's Tomorrow -accompanying a major Design Museum exhibition of the same title-explores a number of different attitudes toward domestic life, tracing the social and technological developments that have driven change in the home. It proposes that we are already living in yesterday's tomorrow, just not in the way anyone predicted. This book begins with a lavishly illustrated catalogue portraying the 'home futures' of the twentieth century and beyond, from the work of Ettore Sottsass and Joe Colombo to Google's recent forays into the smart home. The catalogue is followed by a reader consisting of newly commissioned essays by writers such as Dan Hill and Justin McGuirk, which explore the changes in the domestic realm in relation to space, technology, society, economy and psychology.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The second title in the PLATFORM series dedicated to showcasing contemporary design practice will present the fascinating work of Simone Brewster The work of designer Simone Brewster bridges art, design and architecture through a striking language of form and material. Rooted in both cultural identity and personal narrative, her practice spans furniture, jewellery, and objects that explore scale, beauty and belonging. Drawing on traditions of craft and modernist principles alike, Brewster's pieces evoke a sense of strength and intimacy - sculptural yet deeply human. Her use of wood, metal and pigment transforms familiar materials into expressions of power and self-definition, questioning how design shapes our understanding of heritage and the body. This publication, the second volume of the new PLATFORM series at the Design Museum, delves into Brewster's multidisciplinary practice through essays, images, and an extended interview with the designer. PLATFORM is dedicated to foregrounding contemporary design discourse and the transformative potential of design.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Offbeat Sari will explore how the sari has become a site for design innovation, an expression of identity, a form of resistance, and a crafted object carrying layers of cultural meanings. In recent years, the sari has been reinvented. The urban youth who previously associated the sari with dressing up can now be found wearing saris and sneakers on their commutes to work. Designers are experimenting with hybrid forms such as sari gowns and dresses, pre-draped saris and innovative materials such as steel. Wearers are embodying the sari as a vessel for dynamism rather than pageantry. Individuals are wearing the sari as an expression of resistance to social norms and activists are embodying it as an object of protest. Today, the sari manifests as a site for design innovation, an expression of identity and a crafted object carrying layers of cultural meanings. Since the exhibition will focus on the sari in urban India, the book will follow suit in terms of this remit. It will comprise a series of commissioned essays by notable Indian writers expanding on some of the themes that are central to the definition of the sari in contemporary India and pegged to objects displayed in the exhibition.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Surrealism was one of the most influential cultural movements of the twentieth century. Subverting the dogmas of modernism and rationalism in art and literature, it also had a profound impact on the world of design. From Dali's Mae West Lips sofa to Schiaparelli's 'shocking pink' haute couture, Surrealism championed the power of the unconscious, of dreams and hidden desires - and liberated design from convention and functionalism.Published to accompany the exhibition Objects of Desire: Surrealism and Design 1924 - Today, this book celebrates Surrealism's enduring legacy. It features groundbreaking fashion by Mary Katrantzou and Dior, as well as British artists and designers, including Tim Walker, Jonathan Trayte and Vince Fraser. Alongside essays by leading experts, such as Ghislaine Wood and Alyce Mahon, are interviews with practitioners who are carrying the torch of Surrealism today, including Viviane Sassen, Dunne & Raby and the Campana Brothers. The book concludes with a glimpse into some of the recent forms of art and resistance the movement has inspired, such as Afro-Surrealism, as well as the surprising connections between Surrealist thinking and one of the most contentious technological developments of our time: artificial intelligence.Contributors: Glenn Adamson, Yasmina Atta, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Susanna Brown, Campana Brothers, Dunne & Raby, Alyce Mahon, Justin McGuirk, Priya Khanchandani, Viviane Sassen, Ayoola Solarin, Ghislaine Wood, Najla El Zein Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Arrive. Survive. Thrive.Getting humans to Mars has become one of the great challenges of our time. Mars holds the potential of human settlement, and the promise of life after Earth. Some of the world's greatest entrepreneurs, architects and engineers are dedicated to conquering this next frontier.Moving to Mars: Design for the Red Planet is one of the first books to focus on the crucial role that design will play in this collective endeavour. From the capsules that will need to keep passengers in harmony during their nine-month journey, to the habitats that they will live in, to the terraforming of the landscape to make it life-sustaining, every detail needs to be designed. This task is falling to the traditional space agencies such as NASA, and to private entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk and Richard Branson, and to architects such as Norman Foster. As well as technical and practical solutions, this book will examine how design and design thinkers are approaching our move to Mars in unexpected ways. With striking, rarely-seen imagery and a unique design-led focus, this book will appeal to 'space junkies' and design enthusiasts alike. This book accompanies the Mars exhibition opening at the Design Museum in October 2019. It focusses on the role of design in making the possibility of travelling to Mars and living on Mars possible.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This is the first comprehensive book on the creative universe of NIGO (Tomoaki Nagao) - charting his journey from Toyko in the 1980s to global tastemaker, via a career as influential fashion designer, DJ and record producer. With contributions from NIGO, Pharrell, Yoon Ahn, Tiffany Godoy, Esme Hawes, Rachel Hajek NIGO's pioneering streetwear brand A Bathing Ape (BAPE) drew on his love of American hip-hop and pop culture; nearly 30 years later he became artistic director at luxury fashion house KENZO. He is also a collaborator on brands such as Billionaire Boys Club with Pharrell Williams, and is a member of hip-hop supergroup Teriyaki Boyz. Created in close collaboration with NIGO and his team, this richly illustrated book features texts by leading voices in fashion, design and culture, together with personal insights from three current collaborators (Pharrell Williams, TET Nishiyama and Fraser Cooke). Specially commissioned new photography focuses on objects from NIGO's archive, published here for the first time. These include items from his youth, alongside collectible merchandise, vintage garments, music and film ephemera, and printed matter - all of which have informed his later creative work. The book also explores NIGO's more recent discovery of pottery making, studying with ceramic artists and learning the rituals of the Japanese tea ceremony. Immersing the reader in NIGO's world, this volume explores how creative elements such as street culture, Americana and Japanese traditions have impacted this multifaceted practitioner, who has been shaping contemporary culture for over three decades.
